Review and ban aspartame: Food Standards: Your ref: ( ADB 33/265 L)

[Guest guest]

Dear Ms. Griffith-Sackey,

 

Thank you for your letter. I understand this information will go to

the European Food Safety Authority

 

Ms. Griffith-Sackey, don't tell people aspartame is safe. If its

safe I've taken 50,000 cases of a non-existing disease and doctors

have set up detoxification centers for no reason and foolishly

authored medical texts such as Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic

and Excitotoxins: the Taste That Kills for no reason. They identify

deadly aspartame reactions and diseases while you tell us the same

poison is safe. Some have taken care of aspartame victims in the

trenches of medical practice for years.i

Do you believe we have volunteer operations in 39 nations to warn

about a safe product? What about the three Congressional hearings on

aspartame toxicity? Or the world-renowned physicians and researchers

announcing aspartame is a toxic carcinogen? Or the thousands of

victims whose lives were damaged or ended by this addictive drug?

 

 

 

Thousands developed aspartame neurodegenerative diseases and cancers,

and tens of thousands of babies perished in their mother's wombs

because it's an abortifacient. Death is named on the FDA list of 92

aspartame symptoms, and seizures and blindness, and sexual

dysfunction. But you say: Believe the manufacturers, and ignore

medical evidence.

 

 

Food Standards should protect and warn us. Certainly Food Standards

is no place for industry propaganda rebutted for decades as false.

Here it is

again:

I met with the European Union and explained that not all peer

reviewed studies are credible They used them anyway. Example: If we

have lunch and we each add a capsule of aspartame to our tea, then I

wrote it up and had it peer reviewed as a study showing we didn't

have seizures, what would it prove? Just that I was desperate to

manufacture false evidence. Call it the Donna Griffith Sackey

study. Outrageous, of course, but the manufacturers with money,

power and influence regularly get their nonsense published in

journals - and did. I refer to the Rowen Study where 16 of 18 people

were given anti-seizure medication before taking aspartame:

<http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html>http://www.holisticmed\

..com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html

 

 

 

 

This shows how frightened the producers were that one might have a

seizure on a single dose of aspartame. The subjects received one

capsule of aspartame for a one-day study. Then the manufacturer used

power & influence to get this one-shot fiasco peer reviewed. See

many other hopelessly flawed studies, showing how the aspartame

industry rigs research.

 

 

 

Originally, a 52 week study on 7 infant monkeys: five had grand mal

seizures and one

died.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/monkey_study.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/monkey_study.htm

Seizures are listed 5 times on the 92 symptom FDA list. Should we be

the monkeys now? This was used pivotal in the approval process.

 

 

 

<http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms%5B1%5D.pdf>www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartam\

e_symptoms[1].pdf

Dr. Richard Wurtman had 80 seizure cases, was enough to take it off

the market, and the Community Nutrition Institute in Washington, D.C.

petitioned the FDA to ban it. Ignored.

 

 

 

FDA originally wanted Searle indicted for fraud and revoked

aspartame's petition for approval. FDA gave its loyalty to the

manufacturer, and nothing happened. Today the pharmaceuticals supply

over half FDAs funding. FDA works for the drug makers.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_petition1.doc>http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_petition1.doc

 

Dr. H. J. Roberts 1,036 page text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored

Epidemic, explains how it interacts adversely with anti-seizure

medication. Now big pharma adds aspartame to seizure meds like

Ketacal. According to a Pfizer whistle-blower, when Dilantin was

reformulated they added aspartame. It's a bigger capsule, orange &

white. The report is that seizure victims began to have common

aspartame symptoms such as vision problems from the liberated methyl

alcohol, male sexual dysfunction and more seizures.

 

 

For years pilots have complained of aspartame seizures. Nurosurgeon

Russell Blaylock, M.D. prepared a pilot alert:

<http://www.mpwhi.com/pilot_aspartame_alert.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/pilot_aspar\

tame_alert.htm

to warn pilots off the toxin.

 

Manufacturers rig research to hide any problem aspartame triggers. It

triggers Parkinson's disease and interacts with L-Dopa and other

Parkinson medications. So Schwartz Pharmaceutical added aspartame to

Parcopa

Additional on scientific research and industry abuse, several cases:

<http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/>http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartam\

e/abuse/

 

Read how aspartame got approved in England and the original in the

Guardian about

it.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/how_aspartame_got_approved_in_england.htm>http://www.mpwhi\

..com/how_aspartame_got_approved_in_england.htm

 

 

Food Standards in England relied on FDA, and FDA revoked the petition

for approval.

 

In this letter are facts on how aspartame was marketed in the US

through the chicanery of Don Rumsfeld after the FDA had revoked the

aspartame petition. He was CEO of G. D. Searle, the

producer.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_to_a_n_kim_california_ach.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/\

letter_to_a_n_kim_california_ach.htm

 

 

 

 

The aspartame industry uses a front group called ILSI. When Dr.

Richard Wurtman at MIT wanted to do seizures studies on aspartame the

manufacturer warned him that if he did his research funding would

cease. They didn't deny this charge. Read the 8 month investigation

by United Press

International.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/upi_1987_aspartame_report%5B1%5D.pdf>www.mpwhi.com/upi_198\

7_aspartame_report[1].pdf

Today MIT gets their research funds and Dr. Wurtman speaks no more on

aspartame. That's the way they play the game.

 

Dr. Ralph Walton's research showed that an astounding 92% of

independent scientific peer reviewed studies show aspartame

problems:

<http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html>http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html

Walton further shows that if you eliminate 6 studies where the FDA

was involved and 1 pro-aspartame summary, 100% of the independent

studies show the problems. .

 

 

 

The natural question is: Why do industry-funded studies show its

safe? Follow the money! But without industry funding, here are 167

showing adverse effects. Click this document and see these studies

and note this was four years:1986-90. All these and Dr. Walton's

studies should be in your

review.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/adverse_effects_of_aspartame.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/adve\

rse_effects_of_aspartame.htm

What's the chance of 167 studies on aspartame showing problems being

wrong? If ten studies showed aspartame is unsafe it should be

banned. When 167 studies show the problems is there a question in

your mind? This is a listing by the government, health & Human

Services and the National Institutes of Health.

 

 

 

Dr. Woodrow Monte's peer reviewed report, Aspartame, Methanol and the

Public Interest is always left out. This time it needs to be

included:

When independent researchers learn the truth they're pounced upon

by the aspartame industry, often with the most specious alibis .The

Trocho Study showed the formaldehyde converted from the liberated

methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA. Damaged DNA

can destroy humanity. Here's the study in

full:

<http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame%5b1%5d.pdf>www.mpwhi.com/forma\

ldehyde_from_aspartame[1].pdf

 

 

 

 

As soon as it was released the NutraSweet industry tried to

assassinate the character of Dr. Maria Alemany and reduced his

funding. I flew to Barcelona and Dr. Alemany told me " aspartame can

kill 200,000 people " . I said it probably already has. Consider that

it's an abortifacient and I have letters from women who lost as

many as 8 babies from it. It triggers fatal neurodegenerative

diseases and causes brain tumors and other cancers. Remember an

additive by law is supposed to be inert. This is an addictive

excitoneuerotoxic carcinogenic drug.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is Dr. Alemany's letter to the President of the Hawaii House

Committee on

Health.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/hhc-malemany%5B1%5D.pdf%A0>www.mpwhi.com/hhc-malemany[1].p\

df

In this case the industry used Tepley to rebut, who later confessed

that he didn't use the right equipment. So this rebuttal needs to be

removed from Food Standards web site.

 

Don Rumsfelds crew at Searle were masters of deception. When the

original studies were investigated they were caught excising brain

tumors and putting the rats back in the study, then resurrecting them

on paper when they died. FDAs audit, the Bressler Report exposed

Searles

fraud:

<http://www.mpwhi.com/bressler_report.pdf>www.mpwhi.com/bressler_report.pdf

 

 

 

Jerome Bressler told me that as shocking as his report was, FDA

deleted the worst 20%, two mice studies. Then FDA refused to release

that data to a United States Congressman.

 

My request through Freedom Of Information Act:

<http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_gate.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/fda_gate.htm

met a stone wall. In my letter you will see the fraudulent way they

study MSG, another toxin. To hide damaging reactions to MSG they used

aspartame as the placebo for 25 years, which

produces similar damage. Thus they can report that MSG is no worse

than a placebo.

 

The fraud never ends. In the 5/7/1985 Congressional Record Senate

pages 5492 to 5519 the National Soft Drink Association in opposing

the approval of aspartame, reviewed Searle's study and said:

 

 

 

" an important decomposition product of aspartame, aspartic acid

cannot be detected at all using TLC. " S 5508.

 

 

 

" The inability to account for as much as thirty-nine percent of

aspartame's decomposition products is significant. Further the NSDA

(now American Beverage) said " Inferior test methods were used by

Searle as NSDA explained:

 

 

 

" High pressure liquid chromatography is a far superior analytical

method relative to thin layer chromatography and numerous HPLC

methods exist for the detection and quantification of amino

acids. Searle's choice of TLC over HPLC adversely affected the

quality and type of analytical data generated on aspartame and its

decomposition products in soft drinks. " S5507, 5-7-85.

 

 

 

The National Soft Drink Assn made it very clear that section 402 of

the FDC Act 21 provides a food is adulterated if it contains, in

whole or in part " ...a decomposed substance or if it is otherwise

unfit for food. " You can read the protest of the National Soft

Drink Assn in the congressional record which you can read in its

entirety on the banners on <http://www.mpwhi.com/>www.mpwhi.com

 

The aspartame industry from the beginning had to figure out how to

get a chemical poison approved as safe. They failed and were exposed

over and over again, so they say it's the most tested product in

history to make the consumer think it passed the tests. Only if the

manufacturers paid for the rigged lab work did this miserable toxin squeak by.

 

 

 

Aspartame is a rat killer. Though it was approved for dry food in

1981, there was a third Congressional hearing 6 years later in 1987

at which Dr. Jacqueline Verrett, FDA toxicologist, testified that it

hadn't been proved safe. See her

testimony:

<http://www.mpwhi.com/J_verrett_%5B1%5D.pdf>www.mpwhi.com/J_verrett_[1].pdf

Said Dr. Verrett: " It would appear that the safety of aspartame and

its breakdown products has still not been satisfactorily determined,

since many of the flaws cited in these three studies were also

present in all of the other studies submitted by Searle. "

 

 

 

Aspartame was never proven safe in the US. FDA revoked the petition

for approval. It got on the market entirely through the political

clout of Don Rumsfeld. No studies were done in the UK. Absolutely

no way can you say aspartame is safe.

 

 

The impeccable 3-year Ramazzini Studies on 1,800 rats confirmed

beyond a shadow of a doubt that aspartame is, in their words A

MULTIPOTENTIAL CARCINOGEN. This was known from the beginning.

 

 

 

FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross' told Congress on

8/1/85 that at least one of Searle's studies " has established

beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is capable of inducing

brain tumors in experimental animals and that this predisposition of

it is of extremely high significance. ... In view of these

indications that the cancer causing potential of aspartame is a

matter that had been established WAY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT,

one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA

to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney Amendment to

the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act? "

 

The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of

cancer causing chemicals in foods. In his concluding testimony Gross asked,

 

 

 

" Given the cancer causing potential of aspartame how

would the FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount

of aspartame as constituting an allowable daily intake or 'safe'

level of it? Is that position in effect not equivalent to setting a

'tolerance' for this food additive and thus a violation of that law?

And if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to

protect the health of the public? " Congressional Record SID835:131

 

Notice that Dr. Gross let it be known that since aspartame is a

carcinogen and violates the Delaney Amendment they shouldn't have

been able to set an allowable daily intake. No dose is safe! So

when you talk about the ADI remember that the FDA toxicologist who

was on site said there shouldn't have been the ability to use that

because aspartame is poison and is not safe at any level. Dr.

Soffritti did another study as well showing that if a woman uses it

during pregnancy and the baby survives, since it causes birth

defects, the child can grow up an have cancer.

 

While I'm sending a copy to the EFSA keep in mind they were the ones

who tried to invalidate the study by saying the rats had respiratory

problems. Ajinomoto must be running out of excuses, as they should

of known this would never hold up, since respiratory disease is part

of the dying process. Dr. Soffritti responded:

 

" As reported in a previous paper (Soffritti et al. 1999), one of the

most important issues in environmental and industrial carcinogenesis

is how to deal with diffused carcinogenic risks, to which most of the

planet's population may be exposed. These carcinogenic risks are

represented by a) agents that are slightly carcinogenic at any dose;

b) low or extremely low doses of a carcinogenic agent of any kind; or

c) mixtures of small doses of carcinogenic agents.

 

" Epidemiologic and experimental studies are fundamental in the

identification and quantification of diffused carcinogenic risks, but

they must be designed and conducted to be as powerful as possible

with adequate methodology. In the case of experimental studies, it is

not sufficient to follow the standard protocol used in ordinary

experiments. Instead, it is necessary to conduct studies that may be

defined as " mega-experiments, " using a vast number of animals (at

least 2001,000 per experimental group) in order to express a marked

difference in the variation of effects, and exposing the animals in

all phases of development to allow the agent to express its full

carcinogenic potential.

 

" It is based on this rationale that the European Ramazzini Foundation

performed a mega-experiment on 1,800 rats and demonstrated that, in

our experimental conditions, aspartame is a multipotential

carcinogenic agent (Soffritti et al. 2005; Soffritti et al. 2006).

 

" The results of our study (Soffritti et al. 2005; Soffritti et al.

2006) attracted the attention of the scientific community, consumer

and industry associations, and the national and international

agencies responsible for food safety. Among various comments, the

opinion expressed on 5 May 2006 by the European Food Safety Authority

(EFSA 2006) and the general interpretation of an epidemiologic study

conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI 2006) necessitate

comment on our part.

 

" In examining the raw data of our study, the EFSA (2006) observed a

high incidence of chronic pulmonary inflammation in males and females

in both treated groups and in the control group. Based on this

observation, it was concluded that " the increased incidence of

lymphomas/leukemias reported in treated rats was unrelated to

aspartame, given the high background incidence of chronic

inflammatory changes in the lungs . . . . " In my opinion, this

conclusion is bizarre for the following reasons:

 

" First, the EFSA (2006) overlooked the fact that the study was

conducted until the natural death of the rodents. IT IS WELL KNOWN

THAT INFECTIOUS PATHOLOGIES ARE PART OF THE NATURAL DYING PROCESS IN

BOTH RODENTS AND HUMANS.

 

" Second, if the statistically significant increased incidence of

lymphomas/leukemias observed were indeed caused by an infected

colony, one would expect to observe an increased incidence of

lymphomas/leukemias not only in females but also in males. The EFSA

(2006) did not comment on this discrepancy in their logic.

 

" Finally, in support of the hypothesis regarding the safety of

aspartame, the EFSA (2006) cited the negative results of recent

carcinogenicity studies carried out in transgenic mice by the NTP;

the ESFA did not mention that, because the NTP studies on genetically

altered mice were performed using a new experimental model, the NTP

subcommittee unanimously agreed " there is uncertainty whether the

study possessed sufficient sensitivity to detect a carcinogenic

effect " (NTP 2005).

 

" Interestingly, the same scrutiny applied to our study has not been

applied to a recent abstract published by Lim et al. (2006) from the

NCI diet questionnaire survey (NCI 2006) in which self-reported

aspartame consumption showed no increases in either

leukemia/lymphomas or in brain cancer. These results have been used

by industry, the EFSA, and others to argue that aspartame is not a

risk for humans, in spite of our animal study results. Without

specific information on each individual's consumption rate and

duration it is difficult to assess the power of the survey, in spite

of the large number of participants. The second related issue is

whether aspartame is an early- or late-stage carcinogen. If it is an

early-stage initiator of cancer, then reporting the lack of effects

in older individuals who have not consumed aspartame since early

childhood would be expected to show little or no increased cancer (Hoel 1985).

 

" The safety-in particular, the noncarcinogenicity-of today's most

widely diffused artificial sweeteners and their blends is largely

based on studies conducted decades ago. I second Karstadt's

nomination of acesulfame K for further study; however, I add that it

should be evaluated using a long-term mega-experiment.

 

" The author declares he has no competing financial interests. "

 

Morando Soffritti Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center

European Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences

" B. Ramazzini " Bologna, Italy

 

So after exposing the EFSA on the issue, why wasn't aspartame banned

because its a carcinogen? The study is prestigious, peer reviewed by

7 world experts, followed up by a second study demonstrating that

small doses are toxic. Here is a description of those studies

 

The first ERF study (2005) was conducted on 1800 Sprague-Dawley rats

(100-150/per sex/per group) In order to simulate daily human intake,

aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 5000,

2500, 100, 500, 20, 4, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the

animals began at 8 weeks of age and continued until spontaneous

death. The results show that APM causes a statistically significant,

dose-related increase of lymphomas/leukemias and malignant tumors of

the renal pelvis in females and malignant tumors of peripheral nerves

in males. These results demonstrate for the first time that APM is a

carcinogenic agent, capable of inducing malignancies at various dose

levels, including those lower than the current acceptable daily

intake (ADI) for humans (50 mg/kg of body weight in the US, 40 mg/kg

of body weight in the EU.

 

The second ERF study (2007) was conducted on 400 Sprague-Dawley rats

(70-95/per sex/per group). In order to simulate daily human intake,

aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 100,

20, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began on the

12th day of fetal life until natural death. The results of the second

study show an increased incidence of lymphomas/leukemias in female

rats with respect to the first study. Moreover, the study shows that

when lifespan exposure to APM begins during fetal life, the age at

which lymphomas/leukemias develop in females is anticipated. For the

first time, a statistically significant increase in mammary cancers

in females was also observed in the second study. The results of this

transplacental carcinogenicity bioassay not only confirm, but also

reinforce the first experimental demonstration of APMs multipotential

carcinogenicity.

 

At least Dr. Koeter of EFSA confessed they were pressured by

industry to highjack science. Here's his

confession:

<http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/news/ng.asp?n=70720-efsa-health-claims-antibio\

tics>http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/news/ng.asp?n=70720-efsa-health-claims-ant\

ibiotics

He is no longer with EFSA.

 

The Scientific Committee on Food used industry propaganda and deleted

much that I brought them. There was no Committee, just one person

made that decision according to OLAF, anti-fraud. Shameless

deceit! Now the European Food Safety Authority officiates. See the

complete

rebuttal:

d.com/aspartame/scf2002-response.htm

 

 

 

 

Whenever publicity surges on aspartames deadly effects, the industry

counters to reassure people everything is just fine, even if they're

poisoned. Ajinomoto financed a review of the Burdock or Magnuson

study, so its called, to squelch the alarm. Here's the rebuttal:

 

<http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_and_manufacturer_funded_reviews.htm%A0>http://ww\

w.mpwhi.com/aspartame_and_manufacturer_funded_reviews.htm

 

 

 

 

47 members of Parliament signed for a ban.

 

 

 

Coke sent a stooge to New Zealand when Diet Coke sales fell.

Bernadene Magnuson must have figured her credentials would let her

get by lying. She disgraced herself, saying aspartame doesn't get in

the blood stream. It's documented in their own research!

<http://www.mpwhi.com/bernadene_magnuson_aspartame_flack.htm%A0>http://www.mpwhi\

..com/bernadene_magnuson_aspartame_flack.htm

 

 

Thru damage to the mitochondria aspartame interacts with virtually

all drugs & vaccines. So they add it to drugs that treat the

problems it causes! Fighting fire with napalm!

 

 

 

Headache is #1 on FDA 92 symptom list. A doctor gives Maxalt for

relief. Maxalt has aspartame!

 

 

 

Aspartame triggers Parkinson's and interacts severely with

L-Dopa. The Parkinsons drug, Parcopa, contains aspartame. A

Singulair report relates that it brings suicidal tendencies. It

contains aspartame. The 50% phenylalanine in aspartame lowers the

seizure threshold and depletes serotonin; profound depression results

with psychiatric & behavioral problems including bipolar,

schizophrenia, mood swings and suicidal tendencies. A year old child

had suicidal tendencies.

 

Aspartame interacts with " all " antidepressants.

 

Two European Parliamentarians petitioned WHO to tract sudden death

so they could find out why people are dropping dead. Aspartame

triggers an irregular heart rhythm, interacts with all cardiac

medication, damages the cardiac conduction system and causes sudden

cardiac death. Here are two reports by eminent

physicians:

<http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_and_arrhythmias.htm>http://www.wnho.net/aspartame\

_and_arrhythmias.htm

and

<http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_scd.htm%A0>http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_\

scd.htm

 

 

Aspartame has no value or use except as a poison.

 

 

It's pushed on diabetics when, in fact, aspartame can precipitate

diabetes, simulates and aggravates diabetic retinopathy and

neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve, causes diabetic convulsions,

and interacts with insulin. The methyl alcohol it liberates converts

into formaldehyde and makes them lose their limbs.

 

 

It's marketed many times a diet product when, it produces

carbohydrate craving, bringing obesity. Dr. Atkins called it low cal

weight gain.

 

 

It causes polychemical sensitivity syndrome because once on aspartame

you can become chemically hypersensitive for life. It interacts with

other toxins aggravating the situation. Even though the companies

were powerful enough to get out of some suits, RICO (racketeering)

lawsuits were filed against Monsanto, NutraSweet and the American

Diabetes Assn. for pushing this poison with full knowledge of its

consequences.

 

Aspartame also triggers birth defects and mental retardation. This

Report For Schools has articles from eminent physicians on aspartame

destroying the brains of our

children.

<http://www.mpwhi.com/report_on_aspartame_and_children.htm%A0>http://www.mpwhi.c\

om/report_on_aspartame_and_children.htm

So a recent report places autism at 10%.

 

CONCLUSION: The aspartame industry is dedicated to deception. It

wasn't proved safe in original studies, Why think its safe

today? Those studies motivated FDA to ask the Department of Justice

to indict G. D. Searle for submitting fraudulent research. Title 18,

Section 1001. Searle knew they would lose so their lawyers hired

both U.S. Prosecutors and the statute of limitations expired.

 

FDA was deluged with thousands of aspartame complaints so they

referred the victims to the AIDS Hotline, then slammed the complaint

window, which had logged more citizen reactions than all other

additives combined: 75% of all complaints.

 

 

 

Using mock science the industry funds front groups to spin lies and

fight truth, ILSI.

 

Of course, advertising money carefully placed yields a rich harvest

of free publicity from compliant media. They fund professional

organizations the world over to defend them and push the toxin such

as the American Diabetes Assoc., American Dietetics and MS Society.

 

 

 

While in the congressional hearings eminent researchers and

physicians spoke out about the deadliness of aspartame, the paid

professional organizations defended the company. Because aspartame is

addictive the companies have bottomless checkbooks and use influence

and power to keep the public stumbled.

 

 

 

Researchers who won't go along, like Wurtman, are threatened or their

careers terminated. Today MIT gets research funds but Wurtman no

longer speaks out about aspartame.

 

 

 

Without conscience they refuse to warn pregnant women of the

death-threat it brings their Infants, a plea Dr. Louis Elsas,

Professor of Pediatics at Emory University made to

Congress. http://www.mpwhi.com/louis_elsas_testifying_to_congress.htm

 

 

 

After I lectured twice in England their attorneys intimidated the

press to prevent further publicity.

 

They smother governments & legislators with lies to bury truth. Dr.

Koeter admitted that they pressured the EFSA to highjack science to

save their poison.

 

 

 

Government agencies become puppets to their demands. In the US the

revolving door is notorious and the same FDA who fought aspartame now

assures the public saying it's safe.

 

 

 

After a lecture tour in New Zealand and sales of Diet Coke and other

aspartame products went down Coke stooge, Bernadene Magnuson arrived

to fill the airwaves with lies and denies.

 

 

 

After near three decades Rumsfeld's plague of epidemic bipolar,

vision destruction, MS, lupus, obesity, diabetes, seizures,

neurodegenerative diseases, birth defects, sexual dysfunction,

infertility, brain tumors, other cancers and dark depression

enshrouding countless lives, its time to call HALT..

 

What will happen if aspartame is banned? Dr. Morgan Raiford said if

victims of aspartame are warned while vision is in the wet stage it

can return and sight be regained. Many who are legally blind will see again.

 

 

 

Aspartame has caused an epidemic of fibromyalgia because it hardens

the synovial fluids.

 

People crippled and in pain will walk again. My files are filled with

cases of such recoveries.

 

 

 

Aspartame disease mimics and can precipitate MS. Many will walk out

of wheelchairs like Cori Brackett, co-founder of Sound and Fury

Productions, who made the aspartame documentary, Sweet Misery: A

Poisoned World. Eight months later her huge lesion was all but gone.

 

 

 

Aspartame depletes serotonin and triggers psychiatric and behavioral

problems. Experts say mental hospitals are full of patients who are

only aspartame victims. One of my husbands friends, a brilliant man

and a Diet Coke addict, hung himself, To make matters worse they

give them psychiatric drugs which interact with aspartame. Imagine

so many of thousands would be normal again.

 

 

 

Women who couldn't get pregnant, not knowing aspartame stimulates

prolactin, changing the menses, will hold babies in their laps,

normal babies without birth defects.

 

 

 

Millions who suffer seizures from aspartame will recover.

 

 

 

Aspartame victims of headaches, high blood pressure and other

symptoms on the FDA list would leave these sufferings.

 

 

 

Diabetics who have all these symptoms of neuropathy and retinopathy

would not only normalize but many will find they didn't even have diabetes.

 

 

 

A rampage of sexual dysfunction sweeps the world and sperm counts

have dropped 50% in 50 years. Aspartame destroys a man's ability and

a woman's pleasure, stealing joy from our lives a diet sip at a time.

Imagine a world without Viagra ads!

 

 

The obesity epidemic will diminish.

 

 

Children with behavioral problems, loss of IQ and other notorious

symptoms will improve.

 

 

Birth defects, often a life-in-hard-labor sentence for parent and

child, will decline.

 

People have a right to life, the right to life, liberty and the

pursuit of happiness.

 

If banning aspartame would save the lives of a few it should be done.

It will save the health and lives of millions of people and dissolve

disability, pain and suffering throughout the world.

 

 

Many have lost their jobs, their homes, their marriages and families

from this dread chemical demon. Pilots are losing their occupation

from aspartame seizures. Don't people deserve safety in the air?

 

 

Athletes fall dead from aspartame's damage of the cardiac conduction

system. This nightmare will end. Diane Flemings athletic husband died

from aspartame. His last drink with Creatine did the deadly deed

according to a report which aspartame also interacts with. She's

serving 30 and 20 years in a Virginia prison, wrongly convicted of

poisoning him, though she passed 3 lie detector tests

 

Aspartame triggers chemical hypersensitization, polychemical

sensitivity, an illness from which there is no recovery. Perfume,

paint, cleaners, deodorants, thousands of normal and benign scents

trigger extreme allergic reactions. A 50 year old friend, a painter,

just died from it, but he was disabled for several years in an ever

tighter spiral of decline. Its death by degrees.

 

How do I know this? Countless victims have written me how they were

going to physicians for years and couldn't get well, but quit

aspartame and so did their disabilities. I opened the door one day

and a woman fell in my arms. She said, " I was blind and now I can

see " . The calls kept coming as all kinds of medical disabilities

disappeared. For over 17 years I've crusaded to save lives and tell

the world about this poison. Don't avoid, discredit, neglect or

ignore the mountain of valid testimony form eminent medical

authorities that you're putting death in your mouth, no matter how

sweet the taste.

 

 

Aspartame maker's don't want it banned for two big reasons: It will

close their goldmine, and the world will know what poisoned

them. Keep in mind, if aspartame were safe none of the shenanigans

the aspartame industry uses would be necessary, and all the tests

would prove it safe as rain. They wouldn't have to fix studies, pay

off prosecutors and buy defenders. They wouldn't need a research

front group to dispense research funds to those who will say

aspartame is safe. It wouldn't be necessary. When thousands and

thousands of brochures exposing aspartame were given out some years

ago the owner of the facility said people were picking them up by the

handfuls. Their friends, families and associates were getting off

aspartame and finding all sorts of maladies were disappearing. So

many thousands got well it prompted the article: " The sick woke up

well. " Let's give the rest of the world that opportunity.

 

More studies will be sent before the 30th. Please print out these

URL's and read these reports and studies. Remember aspartame is

genetically engineered with E. coli bacteria, a toxic sludge pressed

into a white powder. They put this poison in children's vitamins and drugs.

Dear Dr Martini

 

Further to my email dated 12 June 2008 which advised you that the

Agency was still considering the issues raised in your original email

dated 10 May (and the subsequent information received), we are

now in a position to respond.

 

We have reviewed thoroughly the information that you forwarded to

us so that we could identify whether there were any data that

we were not previously aware of. Although there were some

references that we had not previously seen, when the database is

taken as a whole our assessment of

aspartame remains unchanged; we believe aspartame is safe at

currently permitted levels. We are further reviewing Dr Roberts' work

on aspartame as this may help to direct the design and conduct of

future studies.

 

In relation to our proposal to EFSA to conduct further research on

aspartame, I am pleased to confirm that EFSA has announced an

initiative in cooperation with its Advisory forum to address this

public concern. As a first step, EFSA has recently made a call

for data to determine what new scientific evidence and other

information is available subsequent to the

last evaluation of aspartame by the former Scientific Committee

on Food (SCF) in 2002. I have provided a link to this request below:

 

<http://www.efsa.europa.eu/EFSA/efsa_locale-1178620753812_1211902099309.htm>http\

://www.efsa.europa.eu/EFSA/efsa_locale-1178620753812_1211902099309.htm

 

Should you wish to provide data to be considered, please provide this

information to EFSA by 31 October 2008. However, we will ensure

that thedata you have already provided to us will be forwarded

to EFSA to be included in this review.

 

Best wishes
